And of course having a constantly powered preamp out could double as another balanced headphone connection.
-
I believe he generally sets up preamp outputs so when a headphone is plugged in the preamp outputs are muted. So, he drives both off the output stage .... but not simultaneously.
That's the norm, yes. The amp he's building for me will feed the preamp outs all the time. This won't affect the performance at all, Mikhail assured me, since the preamp out will only handle very easy loads.
It's more of a novelty than anything, but it would allow me to drive a pair of open headphones combined with a low-crossover sub for the deep rumbling if watching a movie or listening to organs (I like to feel the deep rumbling in my guts).
Yeah, you heard me. Some people want the option to add a woofer to their headphone system.

My Singlepower Balalanced MPX3 w. Supra-XLR power supply (plitron transformer) and SLAM configuration eats 60-65W when it's fully warmed up.

It's still loose but I suspect Alex was right: the noise was not serious (have yet to locate appropriate tool to verify). The DAC sounds great but requires an external amp (currently using my M-cubed). It has responded favorably to power regeneration and the various inputs do sound slightly different (compared USB, AES/XLR, SPDIF & TOSLINK via RME Digi 96/8 PAD). I wish I still had the DAC1 for comparison sake or knew someone with a Lavry DA10. For that matter I wish we had more time at the National Meet and I wasn't so afraid about potentially damaging Alex's gear!
Right now I'm enjoying the DA53 with the various 'phones at my disposal (W11JPN, MS-Pro, RS-1, K1000, DT880 v2006, K701 & K271). Any Bay Area 'phone nut with a GS-1000 is welcome - I never had much opportunity to compare GS-1000 with other woody Grados at the Meet. Have you returned from Japan, Alex?So which input option do you prefer, and why?

And yet the conversion stage is mostly an issue with old gear, when the optical converters weren't as mature as they are now (considering that almost all digital sources have optical outputs).

Congrats Hirsch they look great, I'd really appreciate any comparisons to L3000s if you get a chance
.I second this!

To me, the bass isn't like warm smooth milk chocolate, like the W10VTG is. it's more like sharp dark chocolate. don't worry, it's not molasses. but i wouldn't call it bright. sharp maybe, but not bright.
I like sharp dark chocolate, it's my favorite. How would you characterize the L3000 bass in terms of chocolate?

Maybe it's just me but I think their new ultimate offering should be saved for the 50th anniversary.
I agree, but that's because my wallet wouldn't be able to handle the abuse anytime soon

Another Happy Birthday from me

Hey! I've waited just as long for my Singlepower amp. At least it should ship out Soon.
-
Don't even get me started on that bullshit, it's the stupidest thing ever.
I agree, Tom Cruise for the lose

Mail me a pair and I'll be happy to give them a whirl.

lol, this is the closest I could come to a blind-folded smiley -->

Dusty, I just read your avatar line. Very fitting for the topic at hand, since I'm also a meat popsicle.... although I guess the word lollipop would be more fitting according to my GF.

I would recommend people using the "Edit" function a lot to instead use the "Preview" function before posting. That way you'll have your post sitting on top of the editing window and not have to worry about any timers.

The only question is whether i spill the beans on the new headroom 2006 module, or let Tyll do the
introductions... " **** are a girls best friends"
Aw... that wouldn't be nice now, would it?

sovkiller, you really should mod that box of wine.

What the f.... is wrong with this thread? Oh yeah, the F----ing EF-word, mon!

I've got no bass complaints over here... except in the area of impact my K340's beat my HF-1's in every way. And nothing does bass impact like a Grado.Except maybe an ATH-L3000? Sorry, couldn't resist...
-
See above post... they are are giant killers... I like them better then Grados and Sonys and ATHs
Of course, of course... Stay right where you are... *calls up the men in the white suits*

Ah, so no claims that your headphile hobby is the real money-sucker?
You live in denial, seek counseling.

Thinking about getting an L3000...

Indeed, I've recently purchased a pair of Triangle Stratos Luna 260 speakers (93 dB/W/m). At $2400 they were a bargain. They're the most detailed dynamic speakers I've ever heard with a very flat bass response but also with a treble spike from 14-20 kHz. I will try to drive them directly from my SP amp when I receive it. At my low listening levels, it will have plenty of power (72 dB(A) at listening position is borderline uncomfortable to me).
